I am running Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS 64 bit in Virtual Box. There are two network adapters attached with it. eth0 (primary) is using NAT & eth1 is using bridge.
I am able to connect to internet using eth0 thanks to NAT. Now, I want to access website hosted in it from host OS (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit). I don’t know how to do it with NAT. So, I was trying to do it with eth1.
This is what I am thinking: eth1 has access to physics WiFi adapter. After connecting to WiFi router, I’ll get internal IP of VM using which I can access the website. Correct me if I am wrong.
Now, my problem: There’s no
wlan0type interface listed when I runifconfig -a. And, iwconfig isn’t working on eth1. Please, help.Step by Step guide is encouraged as I don’t know even where to enter wifi password & SSID.
Answer
In the NAT mode of VirtualBox, in order to access your guest OS from the host OS, you have to specifically enable port-forwarding by issuing specific commands like these:
VBoxManage modifyvm “VM name” –natpf1 “guestssh,tcp,,2222,,22”
See this VirtualBox manual link for more details https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#natforward
